    There was a long line out the door. The food was okay. I just came for a quick catch up with a friend. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to order and then about 5-10 minutes for a table. It was a small-ish coffee shop.

    The coffee is certainly solid... just solid. It's decent but it's really nothing special so I was surprised that it is rated number 1 in the area. Maybe that says more about the state of coffee in the area than it does about the coffee here. The place is nice, can get pretty packed though. Few outlets and no wifi make it better for hanging out than for doing work. Nothing wrong with that but just an FYI. The pastries I've had are all pretty good but again nothing crazy or life changing.

    Solid State is a great coffee shop serving well crafted drinks, has a nice food menu, and ample seating to sit back and enjoy the coffee. I ordered the special which is basically a Samoa Girl Scout cookie in coffee form. Not a typical order for me but I love coconut and had to try it. The drink itself was an iced coconut cream and caramel latte with almond milk. It was sweet, creamy, and delicious. My husband ordered an iced vanilla latte with almond milk which was actually better than mine because it wasn't overly sweet. It had all the right notes and was coffee forward. We split the cardamom bun which was a soft, nicely flavored pastry. And of course I bought a bag of beans to take home which has now been added to the rotation of beans we order online.

    Delicious coffee spot! I initially walked by on Sunday and the line was out the door--I think their weekend brunch must be popular. Ended up going Monday morning instead which was a much better line to experience. Staff was friendly, coffee delicious and vibe was great! Fairly quiet with a number of folks typing away on their laptops, I'd imagine it to be a good spot to knock out some emails or work on projects undisturbed.

    Needed a treat after an appointment in the area and this place did the trick. Oat milk latte was amazing, and the cardamom bun was solid. They also have a full kitchen! Definitely recommended if you need a coffee shop near 72nd.

    Matcha latte was ok. This is definitely a coffee place. The breakfast sandwich was fresh and tasted so good. Would definitely recommend. Loved the vibes as well. Service was quick

    Solid State coffee was awesome. Waited in a long line on a rainy Saturday morning. Got a pourover and it was delicious. One of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time.

    Bustling coffee shop in Chelsea! Came here with a friend for some iced tea to-go, and thought the menu was fairly priced. I wish there were some more novel flavors of coffee drinks and tea, though. The coffee shop has a nice food menu as well (if a bit pricey), and I'd love to come back and try some of it! The shop goes surprisingly deep and there's a lot of seating for big groups, booths, etc which was cool to see for a space that was tucked away in the street. I got the berry hibiscus, and it was refreshing and light. There was a decent line on Sunday afternoon, but the service was friendly and quick.

    3.5/5 This coffee shop is cute and has a lot of seating in the back and they have a backyard area too. You can definitely chill for a while or even do work here. But the prices here are just so steep. I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was $9 bc you have to pay 50 cents for ice, $1 for oat milk, $0.75 for syrup. I know coffee in the city is crazy expensive already but I have to say this is the most expensive coffee I've ever gotten in nyc and I just didn't think it was amazing? It was good but the coffee here isn't crazy where I'd be willing to pay that much money each time for a latte. But if you live in the area and want a nice place to study or do work, you should check it out.

    What a cute coffee shop this is. I have passed it many times but never went in. When you walk in to your left are shelves where you can purchase different items, books, art, coffee. In the front of the shop there is a little seating area. As you walk towards the back there is much more seating. Very friendly place and deff has regulars as the staff would say hi again nice to see you, or hi its been a while how have you been. I got a latte and WOW it was tasty. Not bitter at all or lacking flavor. If you are in the upper west side area I highly recommend this cute spot.

    RATING: 8.2/10 As a space the place is gigantic, has a ton of small tables in the back (gets lively on the weekend) and there's some small seating in an outdoor area in the back outside, which seems quieter. Bathroom and wifi, yes. A selection of savory pastries and breakfast plates are available. I opted for : SPINACH FETA DANISH This was actually quite good with sesame decorating the outside and it had a nice flaky, airy and gently crisp texture. The spinach and feta was also quite garlicky, adding an umph of flavor and nice savoriness to it as well. Liked it more than I thought I would. OAT CAPPUCCINO This was pretty solid too, and the coffee had a nice flavor profile that stands out from a lot of coffee shops in NYC. The drink itself was relatively homogeneous, and had beautiful latte art. A good cup of coffee, maybe even great. Overall I would recommend coming here if you were to go on a coffee date or wanted to sit in a coffee shop for a while. It's quite large and has breakfast so you could eat there too and there's outdoor tables as well. CATEGORY: GREAT (terrible bad ok good GREAT excellent)
